In one embodiment, the carrier 420 includes an upper conductive layer, wherein the upper conductive layer includes a first connecting region 440, a second connecting region 460 and a third connecting region 480. Taking the first connecting region 440 as an example, the difference between the first connecting region 440 in FIG. 4 and the first contacting region 240 in FIG. 2A is that the width or area of a first connecting portion 442 is larger than those of a corresponding electrode (not shown) of a first light-emitting unit 472. In one embodiment, the width of the first connecting portion 442 is larger than the width W4 of the first light-emitting unit 472, and a width a first necking portion 444 is smaller than the width of the first connecting portion 442. Similarly, a width of a second connecting portion 446 is larger the width W4 of the first light-emitting unit 472, and a width of a second necking portion 448 is smaller than the width of a second connecting portion 446. In another embodiment, the width of the first connecting portion 442 is equal to or smaller than the width W4 of the first light-emitting unit 472. Besides, a second light-emitting unit 474 is corresponding to the second connecting region 460. The structures and functions of a third connecting portion 462, a third necking portion 464, a fourth connecting portion 466, and a fourth necking portion 468 of the second connecting region 460 can be the same or similar to those of the first connecting portion 442, the first necking portion 444, the second connecting portion 446 and the second necking portion 448. Furthermore, the third light-emitting unit 476 is corresponding to the third connecting region 480. The structures and functions of a fifth connecting portion 482, a fifth necking portion 484, an sixth connecting portion 486 and a sixth necking portion 488 of the third connecting region 480 can be the same or similar to those of the first connecting portion 442, the first necking portion 444, the second connecting portion 446 and the second necking portion 448. When the area of the connecting portion of the conductive layer is increased, the difference in height positions of and the tilting of the light-emitting units due to the different volumes thereof can be improved. In detail, the larger the area of the connecting portion of the conductive layer, the flatter the connecting portion is on the connecting portion for connecting the electrode of the light-emitting unit in each region. Thus, even though the volumes of the connecting portions are different, the difference in height positions of the light-emitting units is not too large.

Referring to FIG. 5A, a carrier is provided, wherein the carrier includes an insulating layer 522, an upper conductive layer 524, and a lower conductive layer 526.

In one embodiment, each of the plurality of light-emitting elements includes three light-emitting units, wherein each of the three light-emitting units needs two electrodes corresponding to the connecting points of the upper conductive layer 524 or the lower conductive layer 526. Thus, the upper conductive layer 524 includes 3*2*N connecting points, wherein N can be an integral larger than 1. The three light-emitting units have a common electrode, so the lower conductive layer 526 includes 4*N connecting points.

Referring to FIG. 5B, glue 561 with electrically conductive particles (not shown) is formed on the upper conductive layer 524 through a patterned jig 512 to form unsolidified blocks 562′.

In one embodiment, the positions where the unsolidified blocks 562′ are formed on are corresponding to the positions which a group of the light-emitting units electrically connects to, and are regions which two electrodes of a light-emitting unit are corresponding to. In another embodiment, each of the positions of the unsolidified blocks 562′ is corresponding to the position which each of the electrodes of each light-emitting unit of one group of the light-emitting units electrically connects to, wherein the group of the light-emitting units means the light-emitting units which emit light with the same peak wavelength (Wp) or the same color.

In one embodiment, during solidifying process, the viscosity of the protection portion 562′-1 is firstly decreased and then increased, and the electrically conductive particles 562′-2 gather between or surrounding the electrodes 542-1 a, 542-1 b of the light-emitting unit 542-1 and the upper conductive layer 524. The electrically conductive particles 562′-2 experience a molten state during gathering. Referring to 5F, after the protection portion 562′-1 is solidified, the electrically conductive particles 562′-2 form electrical connecting portions 562-2, and the protection portion 562′-1 forms a solidified protection portion 562-1. In one embodiment, a part of the electrically conductive particles 562′-2 does not gather between or surrounding the electrodes 542-1 a, 542-1 b and the upper conductive layer 524, so the part of the electrically conductive particles 562′-2 separate to each other and exist between the electrical connecting portions 562-2.
